On both this Anime shows Love between different girls, the chemistry of changing feelings, always a nice guy (who ofc is WAY to nice haha) and the Unique way of loving. Very very good animes - I highly recommend it as a Romance - Comedy - Drama - School life ( F A N )

Kimikiss other than Kimi ga Nozomu Eien features multiple lovestorys at once. You get in both anime good love storys but Kimikiss is more centered around comedy than Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. I wouldn't say Kimikiss is without moments of tragedy but it certenly doesn't keep up with KgNE.

In both Kimikiss and Kare Kano, the main characters hide behind masks and in turn, must discover each others' true selves. Both series are light-hearted romances and are definitely relaxing watches. Give one a go if you liked the other!

I'm usually the type that likes gentle romances with a bit of humor (unlike Peach Girl, for example, which is WAY too intense and frustrating). Kimikiss is such an anime and if you've liked Kimikiss (so far) then you'll definitely like Lovely Complex!

The gentle romance and not-too-intense problems are similar in both series. The romance is there and so is the humour! Well placed humour is very important if you're into this genre so Lovely Complex is definitely worth a try!

Though Rec pans out to be the better of the two in terms of realistic romance, Kimikiss certainly holds its own weight in comparison. Both titles flaunt some of the best romantic progression in the genre, and given the sheer number of crap titles out there, this is nothing to scoff at. If you're a fan of good romance, neither title is one to be passed up.
